Eason Jordan Issues a Statement

While my CNN colleagues and my friends in the U.S. military know me well enough to know I have never stated, believed, or suspected that U.S. military forces intended to kill people they knew to be journalists, my comments on this subject in a World Economic Forum panel discussion were not as clear as they should have been.

I hope this emphasized statement is accurate. A release of the tape to the press would be the best way to authenticate the veracity of Jordan's statement.
